Future Courses
IB Educator Certificate
The IB Educator Certificates formally recognise the experience and commitment
of IB teachers, as well as their skills and understanding. Holders of these
qualifications will be recognised by the IB as having met the professional
development requirements associated with the IB’s programme authorisation and
evaluation procedures. With IB certification, you gain a rich learning experience,
ongoing professional development and the flexibility to follow a learning model that
best fits your career path.
The IB certificate in teaching and learning offers students the opportunity
to examine the principles and practices associated with one of the three IB
programmes (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes). Students
supplement their existing IB experience with rigorous, systematic investigative
work to further their knowledge and experience. Participants delve deeper into
curriculum development, pedagogy and assessment through exploring relevant
literature and their own IB practices.

Expansion Plans
ITARI has plans to consolidate and institutionalize the research and teaching
programmes in the next four to five years with a focus on meeting the training
needs of Indus Schools. There are plans for a new in-service programme for
leaders in the educational sector with a Cambridge International Diploma in
Educational Leadership (CIDEL) under the auspices of the Cambridge International
Examinations (CIE). There are a few tie-ups planned with reputed Universities for
new Masters (M.A.) and Research (Ed.D.) programmes with a focus on the IB
curriculum.
ITARI Management is also exploring expansion into neighbouring countries in
South Asia such as Bangladesh. There are plans for inter-disciplinary research at
ITARI with a new internal working paper series, an annual research conference,
faculty development seminars and incentives for faculty to publish books and
articles in peer-reviewed International Journals. There are plans for action research
and empirical studies in collaboration with the Indus schools and with Industry to
evaluate the effectiveness and relevance of ITARI teaching methods.In the next
ten year time frame, there are plans to collaborate with Universities in India and
Abroad to start a doctoral programme and further widen and deepen research
programmes. The focus of ITARI Training programmes will progressively expand
to serve Schools in India and Abroad.
